Bridge the Gap Between Private and Public Clouds

Managed VMware Cloud on AWS

VMware Cloud™ on AWS bridges the gap between private and public clouds — enabling you to run applications across private, public and hybrid cloud environments based on VMware vSphere®, with optimized access to AWS services.

Let our VMware and AWS experts help you make the most of all this next-generation cloud has to offer, while maximizing your existing VMware and AWS investments. We’ll apply our unbiased expertise to accelerate and optimize your transformation — no matter where you are on your cloud journey. Plus, you’ll simplify operations by turning to Rackspace as your single provider.

Leverage the VMware and AWS Ecosystem of Resources

External Storage

With Managed NetApp Cloud Volumes for VMware Cloud™ on AWS, you get a fully managed, globally available, cloud-attached storage solution that integrates natively as a datastore with VMC on AWS. Now you can deploy additional datastores in VMC on AWS that scale independently from compute. As your applications scale, you can manage compute and storage separately, just as if it were in your own data center — so you pay only for what you need, potentially reducing costs by up to 40% or more.

Three performance tiers give you the flexibility to find the right performance and price to fit the workload. As your applications scale, you can easily adjust — non-disruptively and on demand — to any one of the three performance tiers. Learn more.
